In an impressive display of offensive and defensive coordination, the San Francisco 49ers showcased why they are one of the top contenders this season. The team's rushing game was particularly effective, accumulating a total of 169 yards on the ground across 33 attempts, which translated into three touchdowns. Their average rush per attempt was over five yards, underscoring their ability to consistently move the chains and control the tempo of the game.


The passing offense also contributed significantly to their yardage with quarterback throws accounting for another 209 yards. Despite one interception thrown by the quarterback, he managed to maintain a completion percentage near sixty-eight percent with twenty-one completions out of thirty-one attempts and achieved an average pocket time close to three seconds before releasing each pass.


Defensively, San Francisco's prowess was on full display as they racked up six sacks for a loss of forty-eight yards and forced five tackles for loss totaling twenty-nine negative yards against Seattle. The defense hurried Seattle's quarterback twice and hit him twelve times throughout the contest while defending five passes and securing an interception that was returned for two yards.


Special teams played their role efficiently as well; San Francisco executed all four extra point kicks successfully after touchdowns and made good on their sole field goal attempt from thirty-two yards out. In addition, punt returns added ten more yards to their total yardage.


On penalties, discipline seemed to be maintained by both sides with only three penalties costing twenty yards against San Francisco throughout the entire game. This level of discipline allowed them to keep drives alive without giving away easy yardage or crucial first downs due to infractions.


Looking ahead after this strong performance in Week twelve at Lumen Field in front of nearly sixty-nine thousand fans in attendance, fans can anticipate watching their next matchup when they face off against Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field on December third at four-twenty-five PM Eastern Time broadcasted live on FOX network channels. This upcoming encounter promises another opportunity for San Francisco fans to rally behind their team as they continue pushing towards playoff contention.
